Amplitude Modulation and Demodulation ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHARLOTTE Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION OBJECTIVES The focus of this lab is to familiarize the student with the modulation and demodulation of an AM signal; prior knowledge of basic bipolar transistor theory is expected. INTRODUCTION An Amplitude Modulated signal is composed of both low frequency and high frequency components. The amplitude of the high frequency (carrier) of the signal is controlled by the low frequency (modulating) signal. The envelope of the signal is created by the low frequency signal. If the modulating signal is sinusoidal, then the envelope of the modulated Radio Frequency (RF) signal will also be sinusoidal. This would be the case in a common AM radio. The low frequency signal would be an audio signal and the high frequency would be the transmitting frequency of the AM radio station. Shown in Figure 8-1 is an example of an AM signal in the time domain. Figure 8-1 AM Modulated Signal The mathematical representation for this waveform is as follows: ftAAM ( ) =1 + µω cos( m t) cos( ωc t) where, A= DC value of the waveform µ= modulation index ωm= modulation frequency (rad/s) ωc= carrier frequency (rad/s) EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 1 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory Figure 8-2 shows the physical interpretation of the mathematical equation given above. In this diagram, the quantities A and mp are indicated. Figure 8-2 AM Modulated Signal Showing Values The circuit for generating an AM modulated waveform must produce the product of the carrier and the modulating signal. This can be achieve in many ways, but often is done by biasing a transistor for nonlinear operation (creating the product term) and filtering the output with a tank circuit to remove the higher harmonics introduced. This type of modulator is shown in Figure 8- 5. For class B operation, the transistor is biased such that when both the carrier and modulating signals are zero, the DC voltage at the transistor base will be 0.7 V (i.e., the knee voltage of the base emitter junction). If a carrier is added via the coupling capacitor C1 while the modulating signal remains zero the transistor will be turned off for the negative half cycle of the carrier, producing only positive current pulses in the collector. The tank circuit will have large impedance at the carrier frequency, also the fundamental frequency of the current pulses, and low impedance at the higher harmonics of the current pulses. Thus, the voltage produced at the output will be a sinusoid of the carrier frequency. When the modulating signal is added via the coupling capacitor C5 the emitter voltage of the transistor will follow the modulating signal, causing the cutoff voltage of the transistor and also the collector current pulse amplitude to vary with the modulating signal. The collector current waveform has the shape of the positive half of the waveform shown in Figure 8-2; the tank circuit attenuates the higher harmonics to produce an output voltage with the waveform of Figure 8-2. The modulation index, µ, can be found with the following equation: m µ = p A After receiving an AM signal, it can be demodulated to recover the low frequency signal. One of the simplest types of AM demodulating circuits is the envelope detector. In order to accurately recover the low frequency signal the envelope detector must satisfy an important condition; the time constant of the envelope detector network must be much longer than the period of the high frequency signal but much shorter than the period of the low frequency signal. Once the signal is EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 2 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory demodulated, the high frequency signal is eliminated and what remains is the low frequency component. Figure 8-3 shows the general idea of the envelope detection method to regain the low frequency signal. Figure 8-3 Demodulation of an AM Signal A typical circuit used for an envelope detector is shown in Figure 8-4. It is composed of a resistor, capacitor, and diode. The time constant set by the values of the resistor and capacitor needs to be much less than the period of the audio signal but much greater than the period of the RF (high frequency) signal. Figure 8-4 Envelop Detector The relationship between the RC time constant, modulation frequency, and carrier frequency is shown in the equation below: 11 RC 22πωcm πω EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 3 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory PRELAB 1. For the circuit shown in Figure 8-5, a. Determine the resonant frequency of the collector tank circuit. How is the frequency related to the carrier frequency? b. Determine the standard value of R2 that will cause the quiescent base voltage to be the closest to 0.7 V? Note that this will bias the transistor to operate as class B (i.e., 180 deg. of conduction). c. Assume the carrier and modulating frequencies to be 500 kHz and 500 Hz, respectively. Determine the capacitive reactance of capacitors C3 and C5 at both the carrier and modulating frequencies. Use these calculated values to explain the purpose of each capacitor. d. Resistor R3 and capacitor C4 form a low pass filter to isolate the carrier signal from the modulation input. What is the break frequency of this filter? Figure 8-5 Common Emitter AM Modulator EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 4 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory PROCEDURE 1. Prepare the positive power supply to ensure a DC voltage of +18V. 2. Prepare one channel of the signal generator for a Vc of 500 kHz, and adjust the amplitude to something ≤1V. 3. Prepare the second channel of the signal generator for a Vm of 500 Hz, and adjust the amplitude to something ≤100mV. 4. Connect the circuit shown in Figure 8-5. 5. With the modulating voltage adjusted to zero amplitude, increase the carrier amplitude until Vo has a value of 2 Vp-p. This is the unmodulated signal. 6. Increase the modulated signal until an AM waveform appears. It may be necessary to adjust the level and frequency of both Vc and Vm to achieve a suitable waveform and index of modulation. To obtain a stable display will most likely require that the scope be triggered on the modulating signal, and the volts/div and sec/div be adjusted manually. 7. Observe Vo and record the values of A and B as indicated in Figure 8-6. Be sure to note that the quantity A as shown in Figure 8-6 is not the quantity A as shown in Figure 8-2. Save the waveform. Figure 8-6 Measurement of Modulation Index using the Oscilloscope AB− 8. Calculate the modulation index µ as follows µ = AB+ 9. Increase and decrease the signal level of the modulated signal (Vm) to observe changes in the modulation index. As before, this may require a manual adjustment of the volts/div and sec/div to obtain a suitable waveform. 10. Adjust the carrier and modulated signals for a modulation index of 0.3. Save the waveform. 11. Now we will observe the demodulation of an AM signal with the circuit shown in Figure 8-7. a. Provide the demodulator input with the AM modulator constructed in this lab. b. With the oscilloscope observe the modulated waveform (input to the demodulator) and the demodulated waveform (output of the demodulator). You should observe the 500 kHz modulated waveform at the input and the 500 Hz modulating signal at the output. EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 5 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory c. Save the demodulator output. The demodulator output should be a replica of the modulation signal; however, it is likely that the trace will be blured and wider than desired. Explain. Does this represent a weakness of the demodulator above? d. While observing the demodulated waveform, vary the frequency of the modulating signal in both directions until significant distortion is observed. Record the upper and lower frequencies. The difference is an estimate of the bandwidth. What is the percentage bandwidth (i.e., (100*∆fm)/fc)? Figure 8-7 Demodulation Circuit Using Envelope Detection Method Figure 8-8 Demodulation of AM Signal EXPERIMENT 8 – AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION 6 ECGR 3156 Electromagnetic and Electronic Devices Laboratory POST-LAB Post-Lab questions must be answered in each experiment’s laboratory report. 1. What effect did the variation of the modulating signal amplitude have on the modulation index in the circuit of Figure 8-5? 2. For the circuit in Figure 8-7, how did the time constant of the RC network compare with the period of the audio and carrier waveforms, 500 Hz and 500 kHz, respectively? Does the relationship meet the criteria set forth in the Prelab section? Be sure to include all items from the post-lab exercise above in your written lab report.

  • Of Single Sideband Demodulation by Richard Lyons
    Understanding the 'Phasing Method' of Single Sideband Demodulation by Richard Lyons There are four ways to demodulate a transmitted single sideband (SSB) signal. Those four methods are: • synchronous detection, • phasing method, • Weaver method, and • filtering method. Here we review synchronous detection in preparation for explaining, in detail, how the phasing method works. This blog contains lots of preliminary information, so if you're already familiar with SSB signals you might want to scroll down to the 'SSB DEMODULATION BY SYNCHRONOUS DETECTION' section. BACKGROUND I was recently involved in trying to understand the operation of a discrete SSB demodulation system that was being proposed to replace an older analog SSB demodulation system. Having never built an SSB system, I wanted to understand how the "phasing method" of SSB demodulation works. However, in searching the Internet for tutorial SSB demodulation information I was shocked at how little information was available. The web's wikipedia 'single-sideband modulation' gives the mathematical details of SSB generation [1]. But SSB demodulation information at that web site was terribly sparse. In my Internet searching, I found the SSB information available on the net to be either badly confusing in its notation or downright ambiguous. That web- based material showed SSB demodulation block diagrams, but they didn't show spectra at various stages in the diagrams to help me understand the details of the processing. A typical example of what was frustrating me about the web-based SSB information is given in the analog SSB generation network shown in Figure 1. x(t) cos(ωct) + 90o 90o y(t) – sin(ωct) Meant to Is this sin(ω t) represent the c Hilbert or –sin(ωct) Transformer.

Cooley Submitted to the Program of Media Arts and Sciences, School of Architecture and Planning, September 2005 in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences Abstract There is a misguided perception that RF spectrum space is fully allocated and fully used though even a superficial study of actual spectrum usage by measuring local RF energy shows it largely empty of radiation. Traditional regulation uses a fence-off policy, in which competing uses are isolated by frequency and/or geography. We seek to modernize this strategy. Given advances in radio technology that can lead to fully cooperative broadcast, relay, and reception designs, we begin by studying the existing radio environment in a qualitative manner.

    Bipolar electrical switching in metal-metal contacts Gaurav Gandhi1, a) and Varun Aggarwal1, b) mLabs, New Delhi, India Electrical switching has been observed in carefully designed metal-insulator-metal devices built at small geometries. These devices are also commonly known as mem- ristors and consist of specific materials such as transition metal oxides, chalcogenides, perovskites, oxides with valence defects, or a combination of an inert and an electro- chemically active electrode. No simple physical device has been reported to exhibit electrical switching. We have discovered that a simple point-contact or a granu- lar arrangement formed of metal pieces exhibits bipolar switching. These devices, referred to as coherers, were considered as one-way electrical fuses. We have identi- fied the state variable governing the resistance state and can program the device to switch between multiple stable resistance states. Our observations render previously postulated thermal mechanisms for their resistance-change as inadequate. These de- vices constitute the missing canonical physical implementations for memristor, often referred as the fourth passive element. Apart from the theoretical advance in un- derstanding metallic contacts, the current discovery provides a simple memristor to physicists and engineers for widespread experimentation, hitherto impossible. arXiv:1306.0942v2 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 7 Jun 2013 a)Electronic mail: [email protected] b)Electronic mail: [email protected] 1 I. INTRODUCTION Leon Chua defines a memristor as any two-terminal electronic device that is devoid of an internal power-source and is capable of switching between two resistance states upon application of an appropriate voltage or current signal that can be sensed by applying a relatively much smaller sensing signal1.

OCT is a measuring technique that allows the acquisi- tion of three-dimensional pictures of discontinuities in the refractive index and phase steps in the sample. This technique has gained a lot of impact not only for many bio- medical but also for industrial applications over the last few years, especially due to the achieved depth resolution in the micrometer range. It allows topographic imaging and the determination of surfaces as well as the tomographic acquisition of transpa- rent and turbid objects. This method features an outstanding depth resolution in the sub-micrometer scale over a depth range of up to some millimeters. OCT is based on the low-coherence interferometry (white-light interferometry) with light in the visible or near infrared spectrum. The underlying physical principle allows the suppression of multiply-scattered photons in order to detect mainly ballistic photons, i.e. direct re- flected photons. The goal of this thesis was to realize a very fast, robust 3D OCT system performing close to the physical limit.

Using MATLAB m-file and simulink to implement FM modulation and demodulation. Part List 1uF capacitor (2); 10.0Kohm resistor, 1.0Kohm resistor, Power supply with +/-5V, Scope and frequency analyzer, FM signal Generator. Estimated Time About 90 minutes. Introduction Frequency modulation is a form of modulation, which represents information as variations in the instantaneous frequency of a carrier wave. In analog applications, the carrier frequency is varied in direct proportion to changes in the amplitude of an input signal. This is shown in Fig. 1. Figure 1, Frequency modulation. The FM-modulated signal has its instantaneous frequency that varies linearly with the amplitude of the message signal. Now we can get the FM-modulation by the following: where Kƒ is the sensitivity factor, and represents the frequency deviation rate as a result of message amplitude change. The instantaneous frequency is: Ver 2. 1 ES442 Lab#6 The maximum deviation of Fc (which represents the max. shift away from Fc in one direction) is: Note that The FM-modulation is implemented by controlling the instantaneous frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO). The amplitude of the input signal controls the oscillation frequency of the VCO output signal. In the FM demodulation what we need to recover is the variation of the instantaneous frequency of the carrier, either above or below the center frequency. The detecting device must be constructed so that its output amplitude will vary linearly according to the instantaneous freq.
